Yoga Kurunta: An Irresistible Yoga with Wall Rope

Yogais a total mind-body workout that
combines strengthening and stretching
poses with deep breathing and meditation
or relaxation. Yoga main aim is to transform body and mind, physically,
mentally and spiritually. More than 90 percent of people come to yoga for flexibility, stress
relief, health, and physical fitness.

Unfortunately, some yoga poses are quite difficult to perform by
some yogis due to age, stiffness, injury, or fear. But thankfully,
for those who need a little support, there’s a hot new way to attain those
poses by practicing Yoga Kurunta.

“Kurunta” means “puppet on a string” in Sanskrit. Yoga Kurunta
is a method of performing a variety of asanas with the help of a rope to enable
you to attain accuracy, agility and balance. It was first developed by the
late Indian yoga guru B.K.S. Iyengar, who used it as a prop to support and
intensify his asana practice.

The ropes are attached to rungs that are drilled into a sturdy
double blocked wall that provides both the support and the resistance that
allow for the decompression of joints and ultimately the free range of
motion in the physical body.

By performing asanas with the assistance of the
ropes, yogis are able to target specific areas of the body, strengthening and
stretching as they progress. Balance is improved along with flexibility and
stamina.

The rope wall makes possible poses that are difficult to attain due
to age, stiffness, injury, or fear. The ropes on the wall help you to open and
support different parts of the body. They also let
you increase the intensity, duration, or variation on the poses.

Suspended inversions, such as variations of headstand, can also be
practiced on the rope wall. This provides incredible health benefits to the
spine, and offers the opportunity to practice inversions to those who may
not be able to perform them on the floor.

Here are some benefits offered by Yoga Kurunta:

Less tension and stress, more flexibility and articulation

Helps heal depression, anxiety and insomnia

Re-aligns the body and posture

Encourages all physiological systems, particularly the
circulatory, respiratory and nervous system

Increases the flow of vital energy and immunity

Promotes detoxification of the body

Restores balance and harmony of Vata-Pitta-Kapha

Bring balance to the chakras (energy centers)

Interesting, isn’t it? Fortunately today, many yoga studios have
already invested in a rope wall. So find one near you and start learning this irresistible Yoga
Kurunta. And be sure to always practice rope wall yoga alongside a seasoned
teacher.
